Excel printing issue

Question

Strange issue but when I print with the Excel app on a dell laptop, it won't keep the printer settings. I'll select one sided and then it freezes my option to change the landscape, or I'll pick the landscape and the printer reverts back to two sided printing. If I use word, no issue at all. I've ran driver updates, re-installed Excel and all office apps, tried the quick repair option and nothing fixes it. I can use a different computer and print the excel sheet, it's only with my computer and only with Excel. Just posing the question here in case there's a fix to check to see if Excel is the issue or if it's something else entirely. Thank you!

This sounds similar to an issue I saw today. I found some of the individual tabs were set to double-sided.

Click on each tab within the spreadsheet > CTRL + P > Set to single-sided> Esc. Repeat this for all of the tabs and then print the entire workbook it should print it all single-sided.
